BTCD Foundation Announces Launch of Layer 1 Blockchain and Public Testnet Minting Program
Unlike many blockchain projects that operate as tokens on existing networks, BTCD has been developed as an independent Layer 1 blockchain. The network is built using a hybrid Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) and Proof-of-Stake (PoS) architecture, enabling faster transaction processing and network efficiency while maintaining decentralized validation.
According to the Foundation, the BTCD network is designed to support sub-second transaction finality and high throughput capacity, making it suitable for a broad range of decentralized applications and financial services. By controlling its underlying infrastructure, the project aims to provide developers and users with a stable base layer for long-term innovation.
Long-Term Network Design and Supply Model
The BTCD blockchain follows a structured issuance model intended to support long-term sustainability. The network incorporates scheduled supply reductions approximately every 2.5 years, similar in concept to halving mechanisms used in other blockchain networks. This approach is designed to manage token issuance over an extended period while supporting network participation and growth.
The Foundation has outlined a 25-year development and minting roadmap, emphasizing gradual ecosystem expansion rather than short-term market activity.
Public Testnet Minting Phase
Beginning February 15, 2026, participants will be able to engage with the BTCD Testnet through a public minting program. Participation during the Testnet phase does not require a purchase, allowing users to interact with the network and test its functionality.
The Foundation has stated that Testnet-minted coins are intended to be converted to Mainnet assets at a 1:1 ratio upon the planned Mainnet launch on May 15, 2026. This process is intended to support early network testing and community engagement ahead of full deployment.
Ecosystem Development Roadmap
Following the Mainnet launch, BTCD plans to roll out a multi-platform ecosystem referred to as a "financial operating system." Initial platforms scheduled for release include secure communication tools, a decentralized exchange framework, and a financial networking application.
Additional components, including automated tools, asset management features, and community-focused platforms, are planned for phased release through October 2026. All services will operate on the BTCD Layer 1 blockchain.
